Dramatic Drama

“What the hell was that?!”

Mammon and Asmodeus yelled in unison, leaning forward to give threatening glares to the characters on screen. The pair continued to insult the male lead in particular, as he fell to his knees and grovelled for the forgiveness of his female love interest. They scolded the actor like he could somehow hear. The woman stood firm despite her former lover grovelling at her feet - and yet her face showed signs of pain and conflict.

You weren’t really sure what to expect, when you invited Mammon, Asmodeus and Satan to watch one of your favourite human-world telenovelas with you. They all seemed to love TV shows and books with plenty of drama, but you were surprised at the intensity of their reactions.

Well… Mammon’s and Asmo’s. Though you had a sneaking suspicion Satan was enjoying your watch session more than he let on.

“Whilst I’m not going to yell,” Satan began, “this is still idiotic. She literally just caught him being intimate with another woman, so how can she still stand there like -“

“Girl, you better not!” Asmo’s screeching cut Satan off as the Avatar of Lust clutched his fuzzy, pink comforter to his chest - Satan snapping his head back to the TV as the words “… but I still love you…” from the male actor floated through the speakers, along with some very dramatic guitar music. As he confessed his love for her, the woman turned look him in the eye with a softened gaze… much to the chagrin of your companions.

“No, no, no!!! Don’t you dare say you love that idiot!” Mammon growled, shaking his fist at the TV. You sighed.

“I’m glad you’re all enjoying this, but maybe don’t be too loud. We’re right next to Lucifer’s room…”

“WAIT!!!” Everyone (now including a very emotionally-invested Satan) half-shushed, half-yelled. The woman had offered the man her hand, pulling him to his feet. The three demons on the sofa leaned forward, in nervous anticipation. Asmo’s comforter was now on the floor, forgotten. Mammon was on one side of you, clinging to your arm like a lifeline. Satan was on your other side, eyes wide, your sleeve balled into his fist so hard the threads had begun to unravel. You decided to just lean back in your seat and enjoy the scene, knowing what was to come next. The woman spoke.

“I…”

Satan was seething. Asmo was chanting seriously under his breath:  ”Don’t do it, girl - don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t -“

“I… I…!”

Mammon had leaned so far forward, he’d slipped off the edge of the sofa - and onto the floor alongside Asmo’s comforter. He hadn’t made any sound, though, chanting with Asmo and gritting his teeth as -

“… I love you, too.”

And hell broke loose.

Satan began to throw things - pillows, food and books. Mammon threw his hands up and started yelling at a now-cracked screen; a thick book (courtesy of the Avatar of Wrath) lodged into the glass. A shrieking, livid Asmo caused the door to creak open only a few seconds later.

…

… A few seconds too late, as Lucifer opened the door to a TV remote hitting him smack in the head.

(inspired by a telenovela from my childhood that i've been rewatching, lol. something like this happened to the second male ad female leads, who are love interests - and i remember being so mad, especially since i shipped the second male lead so hard with the main female lead. i was also mad because they repeated this like multiple times throughout the series and i was like, girl no why this is the tenth time you've done this exact same thing. i was also also mad because the second leads being romantic with each other started so ridiculously late in the show i couldn't get behind it - and all of that culminated my young self raging even tho the show was so so good if you just take out that romance)

Another reason I really love Watcher World is that the idea of being actively perceived and judged is baked into the character’s wants and Blinky knows exactly how to draw that out.

Since amusement parks have been invented basically (and with vacations in general) there’s always that expectation to make memories, to take pictures, to fit that quota of a happy occasion. Of course Blinky sets up an amusement park to torture mortals! It’s an active feeding ground for milking human drama and that pressure to meet that societal norm!

Everyone else is having fun. Look at them. Why aren’t you?

That kind of mentality

Bill wants Alice to like him and have a connection with her, while still blind to seeing her for who she truly is - the carnival barker scene lays Bill’s vulnerabilities bare in front of a crowd of people.

“He’s a failure as a father.

He WAS a failure as a husband!”

Everything Bill is self conscious about and is working to actively change is being poked and prodded at. He’s called “weak” and “pathetic”, further emasculating him.

And when Bill does what Blinky wants? He validates him. He calls him a strong man. He gives him love he hasn’t gotten from his daughter or ex wife in so long. He’s feeding right into his ego.

And with Alice she’s prime for Blinky cause he’s basically like social media on steroids - teenagers are already super self conscious of themselves and are starting to try and craft that image of who they want to be in the world, and social media has only heightened that.

Alice is so worried about being there for Deb and missing out on her chance with her, so she (paraphrasing here) even says she HAS to like and look at these posts or Deb thinks she won’t care. She is so scared of people’s perceptions of her and feels out of her depth that it’s prime for Blinky’s influence to come in and point all that blame at her dad.

Cause yeah the situation isn’t great between them already and it’s a nuanced issue the father and daughter need to communicate out but why would you need to do that? You know that the others are thinking about YOU and all the mistakes you’ve made.

No. All the mistakes THEY made.

Until paranoia and ego invade a person’s brain until all that’s left is a puppet ready to be influenced.
